GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - With just three matches remaining on the regular
season schedule, the Green Bay women's soccer team (3-9-3, 1-3-1) is looking
for an important win Saturday afternoon at Youngstown State (3-8-2, 0-3-1) in
order to keep pace in the Horizon League tournament race. Kickoff is set for 12
p.m. at Stambaugh Stadium.

The
Phoenix is currently holding onto the sixth and final spot in the conference
tournament, owning the head-to-head tiebreaker with Cleveland State (8-5-1,
1-3-1). The Penguins are still without a league victory in 2011, making
Saturday's match a must-win in their hunt for the postseason.

LAST WEEK: Green Bay enters
the contest against YSU coming off a 1-0 home loss to Wright State last
Saturday. WSU scored the game's lone goal in the 19th minute when senior
forward Brittany Persaud converted on a free kick. The Phoenix also battled
Loyola to a scoreless tie earlier in the week on Wednesday (Oct. 5) at Santaga
Stadium.

The Penguins, who are coming
off a 3-0 loss at league-leading and nationally-ranked Milwaukee on Sunday, are
looking for their first win since Sept. 2 (4-0 vs. Ursuline).

THE SERIES: Green Bay has
controlled the all-time series with the Penguins, boasting a 9-2-1 record.
However, YSU took the most recent meeting between the two schools, picking up a
1-0 victory last season in Youngstown, Ohio. Then-sophomore Katie Peterlin
scored her first goal of the season in the win. It marked the Penguins' first
victory over the Phoenix since 1998.

ON THE ROAD: While Green Bay
has been solid on its home turf this season (3-3-2), the Phoenix is still
looking for its first road win (0-6-1). Four of Green Bay's six road losses
were 1-0 decisions, and seven of the team's nine total losses have been by a
single goal.

RECORD BREAKER: Phoenix goalkeeper Maddie Drusch (Appleton, Wis.) became the school's
all-time saves leader in a 2-1 win over Cleveland State on Sept. 25. The senior
stopped five shots on goal to run her career saves total to 355, surpassing
former Phoenix standout Laura Sandt (352, 1994-97) in the record books. For her
efforts, Drusch was selected as the Horizon League's Co-Player of the Week,
along with Milwaukee's Sarah Hagen. Her career total is currently at 365 and
she leads the league with 81 saves this season.
